Safety Information
2.3 Laser Warning
Optical radiation: Laser class 2
The CLV61x uses a red light laser diode and corresponds to laser class 2.
The entire reading window is a laser output aperture.
The human eye is not at risk when briefly exposed to the radiation for up to 0.25 seconds.
Exposure to the laser beam for longer periods of time may cause damage to the retina. The
laser radiation is harmless to human skin.
Do not look into the laser beam intentionally.
Never point the laser beam at people's eyes.
If it is not possible to avoid looking directly into the laser beam, e.g., during commission-
ing and maintenance work, suitable eye protection must be worn.
Avoid laser beam reflections caused by reflective surfaces. Be particularly careful dur-
ing mounting and alignment work.
Do not open the housing. Opening the housing will not switch off the laser. Opening the
housing may increase the level of risk.
Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
Caution – incorrect use can lead to the user being exposed to dangerous radiation.
Important! Maintenance is not necessary to ensure compliance with laser class 2.
